Luis de Guindos will share his thoughts and lead a discussion on the causes and dynamics underpinning the record levels of inflation being experienced across Europe and the role of the bank in efforts to bring it under control.

The workshop, the Political Economy of Inflation, is taking place on 7 July at King’s College London and will bring together scholars, experts and practitioners for a series of discussions and panels.

Mr de Guindos was appointed vice president of the European Central Bank in 2018 and previously served as Minister of Economy, Industry and Competitiveness (2016-2018) and Minister of Economy and Competitiveness (2011-2016) in the Spanish government.

“As such, we’re grateful to Vice President de Guindos for agreeing to deliver our keynote address and we look forward to hearing his unique reflections on what is undoubtedly a huge challenge for global economies.”
